I suppose you could adapt songs to suit us, like: My Club In A Coma? Although, there's some songs that don't need touching - Panic! Stop me if you've heard this one before, How soon is now? I started something I couldn't finish. A few of those seem to relate to our last few managers! Some clubs are bigger than others... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skills Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Shaun Maloney on a free anyone? also Willy Caballero and Adrian's contracts are up this summer and both warm up the pine at their respective clubs. Could be worth a shout for one of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth a shout for one of them Shaun would soon become homesick again and I think Adrian will have more tempting offers and would be loathe to drop down a division. We might have a better shout with Caballero (a slithering snake could help sell the club to him perhaps) . I would rather we looked to tie up the best of the available loan deals now rather than have less choice later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Defoe has a release clause in his contract apparently. Can't see many Premier League teams taking a punt on a nearly 35-year old striker but would love him at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd go to either of them over us. This is a pipe dream and not going to happen. Move along. Edited May 6, 2017 by theboyangel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised for us to go after Diame at Newcastle again. He's a more mobile version of Jedinak, has worked with Bruce before and probably an area Newcastle will look to improve on in the prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villarocker Posted May 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) We need to start tempting fringe players from clubs above us instead of taking players from shit teams. Jedinak and Chester came from the Premier League to us and you can see the quality in them as they've been two of our best players this season. Even Taylor stands out since his arrival in January. The best Villa teams of the last 20+ years included signings from decent clubs and I think that's what we should aim to do this summer. If it means paying top wages to 4 or 5 Premier League fringe players then so be it. You only have to look at the influence Gayle, Richie and Shelvey have had on Newcastle to see how much of a difference it can make.

dudevillaisnice Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Wouldn't be my first choices but Likes of Walters at Stoke maybe and Huddlestone if Hull go down I can see Bruce being tempted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say no surprise those players have been stand out ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we should throw huge money, both would be excellent but it's better for us that they come here because they want to play for the club, rather than just because they can make serious money at a crap level. I already feel that there's a mercenary mentality here so we don't want to perpetuate it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
